R Value

The structure of ferric phosphate at room temperature was refined on a Dauphiné-twinned crystal using full-matrix least-squares methods. The final R value was 0.078 for 487 symmetry-independent reflections whose intensities were corrected for twinning. The structure was found to be isotypic with AlPO4 (berlinite) with the space group P3121 and four formula units in a unit cell defined by a = 5.036(2) and c = 11.255(4) Å. The structure is also closely related to that of α-quartz with a nearly doubled c-axis because of the ordering of Fe and P atoms. The PO4 tetrahedron is almost regular with a mean P—O distance of 1.526 Å. The Fe3+ ion is tetrahedrally coordinated with an average Fe—O distance of 1.853 Å.

The crystal structure of Mg2As2O7 has been refined by full matrix least squares procedures using 587 observed reflections. The structure of Mg2As2O7 is of the thortveitite type, as reported by Łukaszewicz, with space group C2/m and unit cell dimensions a = 6.567(2) Å, b = 8.524(4) Å, c = 4.739(1) Å, β = 103.8(1)°, and Z = 2. The As—O—As group in the anion appears to be linear but the central oxygen atom undergoes considerable disorder in the plane perpendicular to this group. The AsO bond distances uncorrected for thermal motion are 1.67 Å for the As—O(—As) bond and 1.66 and 1.65 Å for the terminal As—O bonds. The final R value obtained is 0.088.

At room temperature Na4P2O7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 9.367(5), b = 5.390(2), c = 13.480(8) Å, and z = 4. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares using 1337 reflections measured with a Syntex Automatic diffractometer. The final R value is 0.022. The anion has nearly an eclipsed configuration with a P—O—P angle of 127.5(1)°. The two bridging P—O bond lengths are 1.631(2) and 1.642(2) Å with terminal P—O bond lengths averages of 1.512 and 1.514 Å on either side of the anion. Two of the four Na+ ions are coordinated to five oxygen atoms while the remainder are coordinated to six oxygen atoms. The structure contains chains of cations with four nearly collinear Na+ per cell paralleling the c axis. These are surrounded by six anions with the bridging oxygen atoms lying approximately at the corners of an octahedron with the P—P vector of the anion also paralleling the c axis. Adjacent anions along the c axis are separated by a pair of Na+ ions.

The spectroscopic properties of thiobinupharidine and its isomer, neothiobinupharidine, of established structure, have been examined and compared. From this study it was possible to deduce the structure and relative configuration of the alkaloid. The structure has been firmly established and the absolute configuration determined by the study of the crystal structure of thiobinupharidine dihydrobromide dihydrate, C30H42O2N2S•2HBr•2H2O. The crystals are orthorhombic with space group C2221, a = 25.128(6), b = 9.869(2), c = 26.380(6) Å, and Z = 8. The structure was refined, using full-matrix least-squares techniques with 1934 reflections, to a final R value of 0.097. The thiobinupharidine moiety hydrogen bonds to one of two types of H2O–Br–H2O spiral chains in the structure. The tetrahydrothiophene ring is distorted from planarity, and this together with the nonequivalence of the S and C atoms in the ring causes the molecule to deviate from C2 symmetry

Crystals of synthetic Mg-whitlockite, Ca18Mg2H2(PO4)14, have been grown by hydrothermal techniques and their structure refined by full-matrix least-squares methods, using 1626 unique reflections measured with a Syntex [Formula: see text] automatic diffractometer, to a final R value of 0.046. The crystals have space group R3c with ZR = 1, a = 13.765(8) Å and α = 44.25(5)° with the equivalent hexagonal parameters a = 10.350(5), c = 37.085(12) Å and ZH = 3. The structure, although similar to that of βCa3(PO4)2, differs significantly. The structure contains interconnected infinite chains of polyhedra paralleling the hexagonal c axis with links in the chains consisting of three CaO8 polyhedra separated by two PO4 tetrahedra. Six of these chains surround a chain of MgO6 octahedra and PO4H groups which lie on the three-fold axes. These chains however contain only half the formula unit density of the calcium containing ones and a proton, presumably disordered, is attached to the oxygen atom on the triad axes.

The crystal structure of tetraethylammonium bromopentacarbonyltungstate (0), [NEt4] [W(CO)5Br], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 22�1°C. Crystals are tetragonal, space group P4/n, with a 9.206(2), c 10.484(2) Ǻ, and Z 2. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a final R value of 0.034 for 820 independent reflections. The [W(CO)5Br]- anion possesses exact C4v symmetry, with bond lengths W-Br 2.736(1), W-COtrans 1.93(1) and W-COcis 2.034(6) Ǻ.

The structure of synthetic chervetite has been refined by full matrix least-squares to a ωR = 0.029 using 1105 reflections. Unit cell dimensions are a = 13.3689(7), b = 7.1607(4), c = 7.1027(4) Å, β = 105935(5)°, and the space group is P21/a. The structure, originally solved by Kawahara, is a dichromate-type structure with a V2O74− group eclipsed to within 11 ± 5°. The Pb2+ ions are irregularly coordinated to 8 or 9 oxygens with distances from 2.40 to 3.20 Å. The distortion of the Pb–O distances is considerably greater than the corresponding distortions of the Sr–O distances in the similar β-Sr2V2O7 structure and is related to the tendency of Pb2+ to form directional covalent bonds. The V–O distances range from 1,665 to 1.720 Å for terminal oxygens and are 1.812 and 1.821 Å for the bridging oxygens. The V–O distances are consistent with the strengths of the Pb—O bonds.

Crystals of BaNaPO4 were grown from a Ba3P2O8–Na2B4O7 melt. The crystals are trigonal, space group [Formula: see text]with a = 5.622(4) and c = 7.259(5) Å. The structure, isotypic with that of glaserite, was refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a final R value of 0.042 using 218 unique reflections. There are three different cation sites. Na and Ba lie at sites of [Formula: see text] symmetry and are coordinated to 6 and 12 oxygen atoms respectively. The Na—O bond lengths are 2.344(7) Å and the two unique Ba—O bond lengths are 2.788(7) and 3.247(9) Å. The remaining cation site has 3m symmetry, a coordination number of 10, and contains equal amounts of Na+ and Ba2+. The bond lengths range from 2.548(12) to 3.017(7) Å. The phosphate group also has 3m symmetry with mean P—O bond lengths of 1.538 Å. The underbonded apical P—O bond length is 1.520 Å.

Crystals of the syn-perchloroheptafulvalene isomer, C14Cl12, crystallize in the space group C2/c with a 12.376(6), b 10.980(4), c 15.242(4)Ǻ and β 100.54(3)°. The structure analysis of the isomer indicates molecular packing disorder into two orientations about the centre of symmetry. In the final full-matrix least-squares refinement the conventional R value converged at 0.042. Formation of the syn isomer is most likely to proceed through the perchloroheptatrienyl anion which can dimerize and form syn-perchloroheptafulvalene by cis elimination of lithium chloride.

AbstractThe two line 35Cl NQR spectrum of 4,5-dichloroimidazole was measured in the temperature range 77≦ T/K ≦ 389. The temperature dependence of the NQR frequencies conforms with the Bayer model and no phase transition is indicated in the curves v ( 35Cl)= f(T). Also the temperature coefficients of the 35Cl NQR frequencies are "normal". At 77 K the 35Cl NQR frequencies are 37.409 MHz and 36.172 MHz and at 389 K 35.758 MHz and 34.565 MHz. The compound crystallizes at room temperature with the tetragonal space group D44-P41212, Z = 8 molecules per unit cell; at 295 K : a = 684.2(5) pm, c = 2414.0(20) pm. The relations between the crystal structure and the NQR spectrum are discussed.

Abstract Single crystals of KSc2F7 have been prepared from a mixture of KF and ScF3 . The samples were investigated by X-ray methods. KSc2F7 crystallizes orthorhombically with a = 10.643(2), b = 6.540(1), c = 4.030(1) Å. These data indicate a close crystallographic connection to the monoclinic unit cell of KIn2F7 [1], But in contrast to KIn2F7 , KSc2 F7 crystallizes in space group No. 65. Cmmm - D192h. The R-value for 341 observed independent reflections is 0.060.
